prediction: The U.S. will label any result in Venezuela besides a Capriles landslide as illegitimate

Let's face it, our leaders will only accept an outcome that put the corporate lackeys back in power.

But even if Capriles does somehow scam his way in...the Bolivarian majority of Venezuela will fight on.
Too many people there know they will lose everything if the country goes backwards at all.
